Most real estate agents can tell you what a home sold for. I can tell you what it cost to build, what's wrong with it, what it will cost to fix, and whether the deal makes financial sense — before you commit to anything. That combination doesn't exist anywhere else in South Florida real estate.
Whether you're buying your first home, investing in multifamily properties, or exploring FHA financing options, schedule a free consultation with Roland Ruiz — the only Realtor in South Florida with 20+ years as a licensed General Contractor.
Every real estate transaction has two components that most agents only half-understand: the financial deal and the physical asset. An agent who can analyze a cap rate but can't read a framing plan is half an advisor. An agent who knows construction but can't underwrite a deal is the other half.
After 20 years as a licensed General Contractor building and renovating South Florida properties — and 7 years as a commercial and residential real estate advisor — I'm the complete picture. I've personally swung the hammer, pulled the permits, managed the subcontractors, read the plans, and closed the deals. That dual experience is my clients' advantage at every stage of a transaction.
I didn't enter real estate from a corporate background or a family business. I built my way here — literally. Over 20 years as a licensed General Contractor in South Florida, I developed a comprehensive understanding of how buildings are constructed, what makes them valuable, and what makes them liabilities.
I've seen what happens inside walls that buyers never see. I've managed crews through hurricane seasons, navigated Miami-Dade's complex permitting system, dealt with aging infrastructure and code compliance issues, and built everything from single-family homes to commercial mixed-use projects.
When I transitioned into real estate, I brought all of that with me. My clients don't get a salesperson — they get an advisor who can walk into a property and tell them in plain language what they're actually buying.
I'm based in South Florida and I treat every client like family. I answer my own phone. I show up to every inspection. I stay involved through closing and beyond. That's not marketing language — it's how I've built my business one relationship at a time.
Whether you're buying new construction, analyzing an investment deal, or navigating a complex property situation — a 20-minute conversation with a licensed GC and Real Estate Advisor costs you nothing and changes everything you know before you decide.
Roland answers his own phone. No gatekeepers, no referrals to a junior agent. 20 years as a licensed General Contractor means you get a real assessment — not just a showing.
